After the drift, I told him to drive slow cuz my head is now hurting.

I got home and smoked more weed, I got on the computer and thought...what the hell happened to my screen??? The text was slightly weird looking, a tiny bit fuzzy, as if some photo filter had been applied. Same with pictures. I thought Facebook/operating system was updated/glitched or something. Turns out my other computer screen looked like that too. So it wasn't my screen, it was my eyes. Not as noticeable when looking at the room/objects.

The next day (today)
Just happen to be killing some time and came across your post. First off, if there is a sudden onset of visual change, an important piece of info is whether it involves one eye or both. If it is only one eye, consider other causes such as spontaneous retinal tear. If however it involves both eyes, there are new cognitive symptoms or sudden onset of headache, it may well be cerebral. Just odd that a light and gradual "G-force" without striking your head (I assume) would trigger such a cascade of neuro symptoms.

I would also have to agree with the other replies. There is a difference in the effects and consequences of habitual vs short term use of THC. I have not reviewed your attached references, but I would wager that these studies involved shorter term use. By the sounds of your original post, my guess is that you are a habitual user. As an aside, a known side effect of habitual THC use is reduced motivation as well as a reduction in an important neuro chemical implicated in mental wellness called serotonin. Sometimes short term relief of certain symptoms is overshadowed by longer term consequences.

Hope this helps
